5 superstars and how they can get over with the WWE Universe
Honestly speaking, the WWE Universe is one tough crowd to please. Deliberately cheering the heels, booing the faces, taking over boring matches with 'CM Punk' chants (OK, that one is getting a little annoying), taking a complete U-turn on wrestlers (think Jason Jordan and Bayley) are just some things that they do.
However, more often than not, the WWE creative is to blame. They give us boring babyface characters and expect them to be cheered. They book the same old foreign heels berating America for its discrimination. These tactics don't work anymore.
There are actually quite a few talented wrestlers on the roster right now who just need to tweak a few things about themselves to get over with the fans. Let's have a look at 5 such superstars and what they can do to win over the WWE Universe.
#5 Jason Jordan
Let us start with the curious case of Jason Jordan. As part of the American Alpha, he was seen as a talented young performer in the ring, destined for great things in the future. When WWE decided to split the team up, however, Jordan was portrayed as a clean-cut, Hogan-style babyface, including him in the ridiculous storyline of being Kurt Angle's son. Boy, how things went downhill.
Jordan can slowly turn into a guy who doesn't mind playing dirty and doing whatever it takes to win. One thing everyone can agree on is that Jordan is a great in-ring worker. More intensity in the ring and off it, being ruthless with his opponents and finally this leading to a clash with Kurt Angle can work well for Jordan. A final ruthless beatdown of Kurt Angle will culminate with him being a character similar to HHH of the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Eras.
